Chapter 371 - Why did she lie? (1/2)

Aleksis peeked through the slightly opened door and saw Professor Rodriguez standing facing the students with his back to the door. He seemed to be busy discussing something with the mostly sleepy students who were not used to studying in the morning.

Aleksis believed that many of them blamed themselves for coming to class so early hoping to meet her, but instead she was not in class. She felt a little sorry for them.

At that moment, her gaze collided with Ian who happened to be looking at the door. The young man looked surprised but pleased to see her presence. He then gave a signal with his chin so Aleksis would enter quietly.

Aleksis nodded and tiptoed like a cat into the classroom with her back to the wall, trying not to attract any attention. Many students who saw what she was doing tried to hold back their laughter and pretended to focus their attention on Professor Rodriguez, so that he would not be suspicious.

After crawling so carefully, Aleksis finally managed to reach the middle of the room and took a seat on the chair next to Ian that had been vacated for her.

Phfew ...

Just when she breathed a sigh of relief, Professor Rodriguez turned to her and pointed right at her. ”You, new student! Try to explain Wendell's economic theory about the best productivity management!”

”Eh ...?” Aleksis pointed to her own nose. She did not expect that she would immediately become the target of Professor Rodriguez just after she entered the classroom. She hadn't opened her book at all. She didn't even know what topic was being discussed!

Wait ... Theory of Wendell ...

Wendell .... ?

Wendell?!?

”Oscar Wendell?!” Aleksis asked to confirm the question. She was acquainted with Oscar Wendell, who was once a consultant in her father's company, and she met the famous economist several times in Germany. But Professor Wendell was very old now. Aleksis didn't even know that he wrote a book on all the economic theories.

”Yeah, which other Wendell is there?” asked Professor Rodriguez impatiently.

Aleksis had a very strong memory, and she concentrated briefly on the conversations between Kurt Van Der Ven and Oscar Wendell during dinner. At that time they were busy discussing productivity. Was this what Professor Rodriguez was referring to?

Finally, Aleksis explained what she had heard during the conversation which immediately invited sighs of admiration from her classmates. She had just explained the theory requested by Professor Rodriguez. She even explained it in more detail by giving examples that were not in the book.

Professor Rodriguez looked impressed hearing her explanation. He looked at Aleksis attentively. He had heard rumors that this transfer student majoring in Information Management was very beautiful, but he did not expect that the girl would also be very intelligent.

Finally, he cleared his throat and waved his hand, ”Okay ... that's enough... if you continue, then there will be nothing else I can teach you. Sit down!”

Aleksis smiled sweetly and nodded. She turned to Ian, ”How did I do?”

Ian nodded and raised his thumb.

He then tapped Aleksis' shoulder, who had returned to her seat, and asked, ”Why didn't you come to my party last night? You promised to come.”

”There was an emergency. I will come some other time.”

”How about tonight? I can have another party for you,” Ian said, smiling broadly.

”Ugh ... there's no need for that.” Aleksis shook her head, then tried to focus her attention to the lecturer. Actually, Professor Rodriguez was not at all angry at Aleksis, who had come late and crept into his class. He knew the girl's presence was the cause of his class being so full today.

With the current education system, students may choose to study in class or remotely, but as a conventional person, he preferred face-to-face interaction with his students. He did not like coming to campus just to teach a handful of students. So Aleksis' presence in class actually made him happy.

As soon as the class ended, Aleksis immediately jumped out of her seat and rushed out. She must go to Building C and look for Rosemary.
